The plastic peice that hangs below your bumper is a "Airdam". This helps induce airflow through the Radiator and Intercooler, by creating a Vaccum of air behind the Airdam. Its not there to tell you when you are about to scrap something. Though it is very easily damaged. Some people have taken them off. Some of the cars didnt even have them installed from the dealership.

Hmm.. Not too sure how that could be? Taking off the front fascia is very easy. There is a "How-Too" somewhere on the forums. I thinks its only like 4-6 screws. You can try to take it off and see if theres something bent or broken.

Do you mean the line/joint by the head light, where the Fascia meats the Front Quarter Panel? Just trying to get a mental image off it?

yes i mean the line joint on the passenger side. its very thick unlick the passenger side which is flush.

and the bumper seems to be very tight i cant even push it back into place.

take it off, its just to warn you before you hit somthing with your bumper and assist in getting air into the radiator. i had the guys at the dealership take mine off before i bought the car. havent had any problems, dont think you will either.
